Does this look like strawberry pie? No, it does not. I suffered photo failure. Somebody (me perhaps) forgot to take the pictures of the strawberries. So the doggie biscuits jumped ahead. And we get to do another strawberry pie out of this opps… oh ahh darn.

Our golden Jake has had issues. The last two years have not been kind to Jake. First, he was hit with a hereditary eye disease that leads to complete blindness in spite of two major eye surgeries. A blown ACL with major surgery for that ( special thanks to the MSU vet school) and now a partial ACL on the other knee. So with the lack of exercise and people feeling sorry for him (us), he has gained an extra 25 pounds. I guess we are lucky he is not diabetic.

Notes: I decrease the cooking time slightly to keep them softer for his senior teeth. The original recipe called for 40 minutes since it is a dry dough, I’m very happy I started in the stand mixer. It earned it’s keep on this recipe.

CLOSED TO COMMENTS: I’m closing this post to comments. People keep posting unproven personal opinion as facts. This is “bad” but this is “good”… things should always be so black and white. You can not believe everything you read on the internet and even in the comments here. If you have concerns about your individual pet’s nutrition, then please discuss it with your vet.

Preheat oven to 350 convection.

Add 1/2 of a 14 oz can of pumpkin to 4 egg white, 1/4 cup water, 3 T peanut butter, 1/2 t salt and 1/2 t cinnamon. Turn on the mixer and combine until well mixed. I used the dough hook, and it took a couple of minutes. Now slowly add 3 cups of whole wheat flour with the mixer on 2. You will need to add a little more water to get all the flour incorporated. For me, it was another 1/4 cup. Again this is a very dry dough.

Place the dough on a cutting surface, cut into four equal pieces. Roll into logs of 1-inch diameter. Cut into 1/2 inch pieces. I got 61 bones.

Prep 2 large cookie sheets with parchment paper and distribute the biscuits evenly. Bake for 30 minutes for semi hard.

If you like this recipe or find it useful, the pleasure of a nice 4 or 5 rating would be greatly appreciated. Especially any recipe that has no rating please. Thank You and have a great day.

Thank you for this recipe! My dog of 14 years who we saved from being put down has or had many health issues, shes blind, hardly has any teeth left as well as arthritis. I was happy to see your recipe for your dog with similar concerns. Keep creating so we can keep baking! I also add spinach for bowels since she is inactive along with water mixed with these treats since she doesnt drink much water. Watermelon is good for this. All Vet approved. Happy baking!

I think you’re in a highly questionable area with this comment that many would disagree with.

The discussions I find are just statements and not referenced. In other words, personal opinion and not fact. My physician training says that if it is not referenced to a peer reviewed journal it is likely BS.

Readers can do what they want. My dog likes them and appears have no adverse effects.

Absolutely they will. Just like other baked products. They are not loaded with the chemicals of commercial dog treats that are ok for years. I would suggest refrigerate what you can’t use in 3-4 days. And they should freeze well.

Ingredients are so very important to look at when picking out a dog food. The number one ingredient needs to be a protein. Avoid foods with by-products, artificial colors, and no-name meats. If a food says meat instead of chicken, for example, that meat could be absolutely anything. You really need to know what you are feeding your kids.

I am so very sorry to read about you loss. It is devastating to lose such best friend. I’m sure he knew your love by the care you have given him over the years. Today I shall make these cookies for our near pudgy mini Aussies in honor of your Jake.

Thanks so much for sharing!! I used to make treats but then my dog got pancreatitis and the ones I made won’t work… These will! I will add parsley for breath and I use oats ground in a blender instead of flour. My beagle will be so happy! I hope you have found a new animal to join your family…
